Motorola XPRT gets GB but we get "Future Plans" - Motorola Photon 4G

How is it that a device I only know about due to my mom passing is still getting supported by Motorola, yet we get absolutely nothing but pushed to the side?

When did the XPRT receive an official update and to what version of GB? 2.3.5?
I checked Sprint's update blog on the XPRT but the last update I see was about a year ago: http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...hones-and-devices/motorola/motorola_xprt/blog

Moto has not announced a release date yet. Any dates or timelines are pure speculation.

I am pretty sure they said some time in July and maby August, but these are not hard dates and can change easily.
It won't be released

July has just started and August is very far
Add to that they do not even reply on twitter ..
Anyone knows about international phones/carriers? I'm from Brasil, and don't really care about ATT/Bell/etc (sorry the honesty). I guess the update comes from Moto, right? Not from the carriers. Anyone?
Sent from my awesome rooted Atrix
Well the last few updates have been at the end of the months.
Also, I do not recall moto ever saying july. I believe that was just a prediction from brief mobile. Nor have I heard any rumors regarding SOAK test.
Sounds like the droid 3 is launching very soon, and the new moto flagship LTE bionic is launching early August.
So, most likely we will see a limited release toward the very end of July and a full release sometime in August.
I Hope im wrong and that this post is irrelevant by the time I press "submit"

I believe on the Motorola Owners Forums they said they were going to begin soak testing--near the end of June.

I haven't heard rumors about soak test either. I heard fact from forum manager Mark on the Moto forums telling people they would begin selection for soak very soon, everyone should update their info if needed, and 1000 people will be picked from the total pool with priority going to people who contribute on the Moto forums. This was a week or so ago.

As Muddy Waters said: You can't lose what you ain't never had.

No audio calls problem!!!

So I just ditched my EVO the other day and picked up this bad boy
I have the latest everything prl profile...
I believe I have the latest software from moto ....it ends with MR1
Correct me if Im wrong
Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating
Let me know

Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
there is no need for 2.3.5 it was a few bug fixes for the nexus s 4g. because to take an entire os (motoblur) and upgrade it to another version, even tho its only small changes requires huge amounts of coding and testing.. way not worth it. i would rather have ics then 2.3.5

ICS update could be soon?

I know this is getting a little old to see on here but I thought I would just pass on the news. One of casual members over at atrix 2 forum found an ics leak using cheesecake for the att version of the phone just a few days ago yesterday Jim posted how to properly flash the new update(leak) of ICS.
Here's why I know we will get the update. The atrix 2 was one of the most currently under appreciated android device to come from Motorola in awhile. No advertisement. Just simply came out. The photon may have been out a few months longer but its resell value is still higher than the atrix 2 and has sold far more than the atrix 2. Please don't doubt Motorola on the ics updates. It will come out and it feels like only a matter of weeks or month before someone here finds a leak using cheesecake or some other method. Keep your chins up
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Even if Motorola released ICS for the Photon today it'd probably take them another 60 days to release the source code and drivers.
Actually I just checked and it seems they released the latest source code about 3 weeks before the OTA went live so maybe we'll get lucky.
Atrix*2* will have the update sooner, because it's OMAP device, like razor, bionic, droid4... It's easy to make it, if you have it already for one of them. ;-)

You are borderline trollin right now lex. Just let it go, don't be 'that' guy. And xda is supposed to be a source of information, hence it is closely related to a classroom. Every post that isn't at least somewhat informative is considered spam. "Motorola sucks" falls in that category and you should have known you were about to get flamed for sayin it.
I wouldn't write it better, even in my mother language.

Man, you started, if you look at the sequence of posts. Please, let it be...
So far for this being the first leak for the att atrix 2 its running flawlessly. The bug report thread for the build has not reported any major bug so far. So for just a leak Motorola did a great job with ics this ics. And did one of you say earlier that source was released? Were you talking about the tegra2?

Why are you so negative? If you hate Motorola so much and have such low standards for them then please leave the thread or provide useful information. If you have information about source being released in 8 months then post it rather than making assumptions based on your distaste for Motorola

Motorola finally unlocking bootloaders, but will we get it too?

Motorola announced they will be unlocking bootloaders. What are the odds they allow it on older devices...

interesting that the article states, " Photon Q will be the first device to have support for the unlock tool."
I was under the impression that the Photon Q was being shipped unlocked out of the box based on what tsdeaton said.

On android central they said that (this is about other phones) "moto says that they have to evaluate that on a phone by phone basis, and that they have worked with Sprint to come up with a solution that's favorable to everyone involved." And no it's not unlocked out of the box.

Too much beggin and problems with this phone that is why I am considering going with a Samsung phone.
BY the time ICS (way later sometime this year) gets official and with a locked bootloader what is the point anymore?

Unless you're already stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5, than when official ICS drops for our device, I guarantee that users will be able to flash the official update with a modified unlocked bootloader!
Also, when official ICS does come out, that'll cure ALL out current minor issues with custom ROMs! To be really honest with you tho, the custom Jelly Bean ROMs we have out now in the development section are a TON more stable and usable than the ICS ROMs that we had previously!
